    wrt the "quarantine protests" over here. I saw a bit yesterday on the news and was struck by just how white and middle to older middle aged most of the protesters were. Now trust me, I don't have anything against older middle aged white people (that'll be me) but I couldn't help noticing they were all protesting in states with a democrat governor. Later, on a different channel, it was announced that all this was arranged by some Tea Party type group. So basically what you'd expect. In other news, the biggest processor and producer of pork products in the States has been shut down with over 500 positive cvd-19 tests. Curiously, the governor has refused to enact a "stay at home" law for the state. Hmm, I wonder why.

    Ladies and Gentlemen your Government has failed you!

    Little bit like car insurance, you don't know how good the company is until you need them!

    3 week lockdown extension all because of the lack of testing and it is why.. don't be fooled!

    Needs more testing Hancock you prick!! Useless government! An embarrassment!

    The extension comes as no surprise whatsoever, did anyone really think it would be over in 3 weeks, even at the beginning of the lockdown?

    No other country has come out of lockdown after only 3 weeks. We know this is going to take around 12 weeks and then I’d imagine a partial lockdown. I am sure you would have been the first on here moaning if we got another spike in a couple of weeks.

    The economy will recover and bounce back. No government can bring people back to life and that’s why we need to wait this out

    They will really be able to make the £15+ million count-especially at this challenging time.

    There are more than 250 NHS charities across the UK and most of them focus on helping our hospitals do more. Collectively these charities give £1 million every day to the NHS so that people can stay well for longer and get better faster. In recent years NHS charities have funded major capital projects, pioneering research and medical equipment at our hospitals, helping patients access the best possible care when they need it most.

    They also play a key role in mobilising volunteers to support NHS staff, brightening wards and waiting areas with colourful and engaging art and building an important link between our hospitals and our communities. Other NHS charities support mental health trusts, community health trusts and ambulance trusts.

    These vital funds and services are above and beyond what the NHS alone can provide, touching lives and making a huge difference to millions of people when they are at their most vulnerable.

    Give it to charities which don't have a CEO robbing a 6 figure salary out of it for a few weeks work a year.

    I bet the Prez will be laughing at us and maybe sending the PM a copy of his 'best selling' [sic] book "The Art of the Deal".

    Whatever happened to the PM's claim that were were 'ramping up our testing' and would be doing '250,000 tests a day in a few days time'? That was said on 23rd March! There's still a long way to go to even reach Handcock's 100,000 tests/day by end of April let alone the PM's enhanced target.
